Romance / Re: People In Their 30s With No Kids And Single, How Do Y’all Feel by cigaricon(m): 4:56pm On Apr 03
barrydee:
This OP is not wise at all.
Africa needs to grow beyond this mindset. Having a wife and kids is not an achievement but a fulfillment which by the way, different people have their own definition of fulfillment.

If you are a man in your 30s living in a difficult country like Nigeria, i advise you chase the bread to better your life & your future. If you stumble on a good woman while at it, you can marry her but if you allow societal pressure to make you marry one of these damaged, unproductive, & useless slay queens who are liabilities as a wife, sorry na your name.

You can still get married in your late 30s or early 40s and live a fulfilled life & by the time you are in your 60s, your kids would be in their eaely 20s keeping you company, running erands for you and making you happy while you relax and groom them to takeover your business/empire aince you utilized your youthful era to make some good investments.

Unlike those niggas who got married in their 20s using all their energy as youths just to fend, suffer and provide for the family. By the time they hit 60, no major investments, their kids have all abandoned them to begin their own lives/families making them feel lonely and abandoned. Only few lucky ones get regular visits, care and gifts from their kids at this point.
That's if their wives don't turn their kids against them.

So much sense in this comment but myopic minds will disagree cos they've been wired to satisfy social pressure. Marriage is not an achievement but a fulfillment. Well said

Proof that men don't really want women.

Somewhere in Nigeria, there's a girl with an actual vagina who no man will spend more than 2k on. Because she's not pretty enough, or well maintained. But a guy will dress up and boom, he's game for a senator, even enough to pay millions to woo him.

Nah, many guys just want that beautiful painted face and the fashion and the hair and the body. Creepy fact, once all that is there, it doesn't matter who or what that person is underneath. That's why a lot of guys can date a beautiful beast.

Thrash. What is the statistics of Heterosexual people compared to homosexuals?

Going by your ideology which is senseless anyways, Women also don't want men too. Or you don't know women who do females? undecided

Romance / Re: I Sent Her Out Of My House Late In The Night: Did I Do The Right Thing? by cigaricon(m): 7:21pm On Mar 23
AyobamiOluwole:
So this girl has been coming to my place, eat the best food and all that. I've asked her if she has a boyfriend and she said no. I do give her money without asking her for anything on return because I could see she is not the lazy type and she is really hardworking. I am very much ok with finances and I see no issues with some of her demands.


Yesterday I called her and told her that I'm not happy and that I need cuddle only and not sex(I lost so much Dollars from futures trading that night). She later called and said she will come to my place for that reason. In my mind I was thinking this will go down as sex and all, but I don't really want sex.

All I just needed is someone to cuddle and get distracted with that's all. This is the only time I am demanding something from her.

So she came during the evening time, and later that night we went to supermarket and I got her something's to eat at home for the night. We got back home and everything was going well. We were both on the bed when I reminded her why she came. This is someone I've been doing quite a lot for without even thinking twice out of pity. She wouldn't give in and wouldn't let me know why she can't just allow me to cuddle her.

Mehn, from the loss I had earlier and all that, I got infuriated and called another girl telling to pls come over for the night. Then I told this girl to leave my house since she can be that selfish. I sent her out of my house around 10pm. She was telling me she doesn't have money to go home, I didn't care and I shut my door against her. Though I was scared letting her out on that road and that time of the night but my anger got the better part of me. It was later after getting over the whole thing I confirmed nothing happened to her from someone else.

Pls is there anything wrong with what I did?

Modified: Anger is a bad thing. I am wrong sending her away at that time of the night. This is probably the judgement I'll get 😔

All these because of ordinary cuddle... Guy you're too petty Abeg. If you wanted to straf her, why not man up and make advances prior to this. It's very obvious you want to have s*x with her but you weren't man enough to tell her your feelings. .

Abeg shift, we have better things to worry about

Food / Re: Pure Water May Be Sold For ₦100/Sachet Due To High Production Cost by cigaricon(m): 8:12am On Feb 29
Faiththatworks:
I believe at this point some people are bent on sabotaging the government.
Why is everything getting so expensive,it seems Nigeria is now an extension of the United States.
Once the Naira falls to the Dollar, everything rises in Nigeria,I'm wondering how everything involved in the production of pure water is connected to the Dollar.
I believe it's time for Government to intervene and stop the sabotage.
Seriously,I don't think anyone should blame Asiwaju for what's happening in Nigeria,it shows the extent of decline on our nation.
It shows out total dependence on foreign countries for survival.
I say shame on our leaders,a big shame on them.
I implore Government to keep adding more taxes on all these imported goods,we must get to the point where we must begin to look inwards to survive.
If we can't produce ordinary nylon bags to package pure water and we have to also import the chemicals to purify the water,then I say Nigeria has a very serious problem.
For those who believe Asiwaju is the cause of this I implore you to have a rethink,why should we Ignore the bigger problem and focusing on the smaller ones.
God bless Nigeria.

Talking about if PO had won, was PO the only one on the ballot? According to mumu inec Atiku came second which technically means that if your drug lord hadn't bought his way into power, Atiku should have been the one on the seat. Why not say "If Atiku had won"?

They are silent because they remember Peter Obi was the loudest critic of fuel subsidy who promised to remove it on the first day of his presidency, if elected.

So we would be in this situation even if he was president, and they know it.

That’s why they are silent.
But your Bobo Chicago who is supposedly a first class holder in accounting and economics, and presumed by ronu miscreants to be better than Obi still did "what obi would have done". Why didn't he do better?

Take it or leave it, your agbado slave master is a total failure, even you yourself know it within you.

Also remember your emilokan was the loudest critic of GEJ when he tried to remove this same subsidy in 2015, so how far?

Glad to know that not everyone is dumb on Nairaland. I follow her TikTok account, she always addresses issues like this.

I think the op is to blame here for posting a misleading topic in order to get engagements.

Nigerians are the most emotionally unintelligent creatures on earth watch how they're bad mouthing the said lady just because she made a mistake, a mistake from wanting to live in a more serene environment which they can afford. If you check well, those people insulting her are struggling to pay their rent of one room apartment, their own lives isn't any better but they're here insulting her.

Romance / Re: Would You Marry Someone Who Has Broken Ties With Their Parents? by cigaricon(m): 1:14pm On Jan 18
You see, issues in family are very delicate and complicated that if you don't experience it firsthand or you're not a first hand witness, you will never understand no mater how the people involved explain it to you. First of all, when it comes to marriage, I believe it to be between two people, therefore should be independent of any other people whether they're family or not, after all the bible said a man would LEAVE HIS MOTHER AND FATHER AND CLING TO HIS WIFE. However the African culture insinuates that marriage is between families but I do not agree and that's my own opinion.

Now back to the issues in family I was talking about, If you had spectacular parents as a child, you can never believe that there are parents somewhere who are evil such that they could even kill their child. Many parents have ruined their children's lives, yes I've met some people who their parent(s) do not want the best for them so that they won't outdo what they the parent have done. We've all heard stories where Fathers molest their daughters, maltreat their sons and what not, now would you blame these set of people if they choose to disown their parents? Many would do so to save their future, would you blame them?

I see some comments saying one shouldn't disown their family NO MATTER WHAT and I just scoff cos these people haven't been in some ugly situation. I bet that You wouldn't even think twice before making the decision if it were you so stop saying what you don't know about yet and just deal with your own life and let others deal with theirs.

At the end of the day, whether family or not, we are all individuals with different perspectives to life, so one having toxic or evil parents doesn't automatically mean that they would be evil themselves as some comments are saying. Sometimes we experience evil so that we can be better humans. Sometimes people make these decisions to save their partner and children from toxicity.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to disown one's parents, all I'm saying is that some situations need to be properly studied before jumping into conclusion. It is no where carved in stone that whoever doesn't have a relationship with their parents will be bad partners in marriage, never

Family / Re: How's Your Relationship With Your Siblings? Toxic Or Healthy? by cigaricon(m): 9:12am On Nov 26, 2023
We4all:

Your mom should have tried to unite you and your half siblings before her death. It is said that half siblings who share the same mother are closer than those who share the same father. I wonder why you never met with your siblings.

I believe you are old enough. You should make an effort to trace them even if it's obvious they don't care. Because if they actually care, they could have linked up with you before now.


I've tried to several times but it's hard. I only know their first names, I don't even know their surname, I don't know the state they are or if they're in Nigeria at all. When I reunited with my biological sister, she told me she only met them once and at the time, they were in Enugu. My aunt from my mother's side who is the only family member that I know from my mother's side (we also reunited after so many years), I asked her about them and she said that the female one now has a child, but is no longer with the man whom she has the child with. Even she doesn't care about them. I was heart broken cos I didn't even know that I have a nephew.

Many times I've shed tears due to the dysfunctional way my family is. My family has never been united. My father hates every single memory of my mother, and my mother's family hates him as well, even up till today. At some point, they accused him of being responsible for my mother's death which is absolutely not true. Sometimes I feel my father doesn't care much about I and my biological sister cos we came from my mother. I have a tattoo of my mother's name and a heart shape on my left wrist. The day my father saw it, he was filled with resentment and kinda withdrawn from me. He didn't make it obvious but I knew cos I have a very strong discerning spirit and I know him very well. I know he doesn't hate us, I just think we bring back memories of her.

Family / Re: How's Your Relationship With Your Siblings? Toxic Or Healthy? by cigaricon(m): 2:53pm On Nov 25, 2023
I can't really say it's healthy, neither can I say it's toxic. We just don't have a strong bond with each other.

To begin with, I have two elder half siblings I've never meet before, these are my late mother's children she had from a previous marriage before she married my dad. I haven't even seen their pictures so I don't even know how they look like, I only know their names. And any time I ask a family member who've had contact with them, they just waive it off.

In my family, it's not the younger ones (siblings, cousin) that are toxic, it's the elder ones (parents, uncle's, aunties) although not all Sha, and it's rubbing off on some of the younger ones. To say the least, my family is very dysfunctional.

We are just two who share the same parents, I and my younger sister, the rest are my half siblings. My biological sister and I didn't grow up together due to my mom and dad's separation. We reunited after 15yrs and still had some misunderstandings due to individual differences. Then I decided to be away from family and find my way through life. The last time we saw was about 2-3 yrs ago, we only communicate via call and WhatsApp and it's been cool.

My other half siblings, the children my dad has with his present wife we barely communicate, not because we hate each other but they are still young and are still under parent's custody so they follow whatever their mother tells them. I think they'll come around when they're much older.

I eager look forward to spending some with them in the coming hollidays though.
